All very true Ned, and so hopefully further optimisations can be made that will help, such as eliminating the issue discussed here which is likely to impact low resource devices such as the Pi more than any other (and go largely unnoticed on more powerful x86 systems). I don't know if anyone can look at this particular issue, but the initial replies in that thread were quite disappointing as they seemed to suggest it is quite normal to seek for non-existent files hundreds of times a second... some sanity is needed here.
